Abstract
Background: Patient safety is one of the main components of the health care services quality that implies avoidance of any harm or damage to the patient during the delivery of health care. The purpose of this study was to determine the patient safety culture from the view point of nurses in the hospitals of Guilan province in 2016.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 400 nurses from the nurse community in Guilan province, Iran in 2016. The sampling was performed as the two-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a modified questionnaire based on the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC). Data were presented with descriptive statistics analysis using in SPSS-14. The significant level was considered less than 0.05.
Results: Most of the nurses were female (89%), with a mean age of 34.28±6.86 years. The most response to the items was related to “Please give your work area/unit in this hospital an overall grade on patient safety” that was the acceptable option (47.5%). The mean score of the patient safety was 3.28 ±0.86.
Conclusions: The results showed two dimensions including staffing and teamwork within units. Feedback and communication about errors were the most important dimensions of the patient safety culture. Accordingly, it should be noted that paying more attention to the patient safety culture can lead to improve hospital condition levels.

Abstract
Background: Improving patient safety is a common international priority because errors and other forms of unnecessary damage to the process of patient care and treatment are global problems. Training programs such as web-based programs enhance the patient safety culture in staff. This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of virtual collaborative learning with mobile devices on patient safety culture among the staff of a maternity center.
Methods: This study was conducted on staff working in Kowsar Hospital of Qazvin in 2019 with a pretest-posttest design. Sixty-three eligible participants were recruited using convenience sampling. The educational contents were shared on a website. Data were collected online using the hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire. Educational intervention sessions were held once a week, for 8 weeks. The paired t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. The significance level was set at 0.05.
Results: The mean score of safety culture increased significantly from 141.19±16 to 147.93±14.05 after the intervention (P<0.001). Error reporting at the center also increased significantly after the intervention (P<0.001).
Conclusion: This research showed that the collaborative method using mobile learning can be effective for the promotion of patient safety culture among the maternity center staff.
